Hello
Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. We have decided that our overall theme for 2024 will be THE POWER OF WORDS.
September's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about Strength and Courage.
***
Here is my midway project:
I used the beautiful Helen Keller quote along with this quirky sunflower stamp, designed by Melia Dahl for That's Crafty, to make a bookmark.
I coloured the sunflower with Inktense Watercolour pencils and fussy cut it. I added it to a background made by stamping Oxide Inks with a stencil. Lots of white splatters were added to the background and I inked the edges in black. The quote was typed, printed and cut into strips. Finally I added an eyelet and colour-matching ribbon.

Here are this month's suggested quotes, but you can, of course, use your own:
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” — Helen Keller
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” — Marcus Aurelius
“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.” — Earl Nightingale
“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” — Steve Maraboli
“The sun himself is weak when he first rises, and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on.” — Charles Dickens

Some wonderful quotes listed there Carol, I always love the Helen Keller one although The Best and Most Beautiful probably just ahead which I have on a PB stamp, years old.
ReplyDeleteThe face and Sunflower image is so thought provoking and of course perfect with that HK quote, so pleased you shared with us at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges, many thanks.
